Interlibrary loans

Journal articles, books and other items that are not held by the Library may be requested using our Interlibrary loans service. This service is provided free for academic staff and honours, masters and PhD students. We will locate and supply items from another library or commercial document supplier, provided it is directly related to your current study or research at CSU.

Making a request

Check Primo Search for availability in CSU libraries before making a request

If item is not held requests must be submitted using the Request non-CSU link in Primo Search. Please ensure you provide a full and accurate citation

Please be aware that the lending library may have special conditions for the loan of their material, including the duration and renewals. Also note that journal articles and chapters or pages from books are obtained subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968.

Please Note: Books from other libraries cannot be sent overseas. We are only able to obtain copies of chapters or articles for students outside Australia.
